I've got the same question. I'll be gold on CO by years end. I mainly travel these routes:
EWR->OAK/SFO/SJC
EWR->MCO
EWR->SLC
EWR->ARN
EWR->LHR/LGW (though STN would be MUCH easier)
Other than CO, I think UA is the best fit but I worry that when I travel with my family (4 of us total) we'll not be allowed to sit together in E+. I understand that they only allow you a seat for yourself and one companion. Is this true?
I think my only other decent option to see if NW will comp me gold and to fly them and CO and credit my Worldperks account. That assumes, of course, that NW doesn't pull the same stunt that CO did.
[Edited to add...]
Most of my flying is US domestic and I always buy the least expensive discount fare I can find.
